Important Update

To our dearly beloved fellow green thumbs and heirloom enthusiasts,

As of October 1st 2025 Seed Freaks will no longer be operating online.

We are taking a break for 24 months from online sales. We will however continue to grow on a smaller scale in that time, and exhibit at the major Tasmanian Festivals. We will update Facebook, Instagram and our newsletter with the Dates and Locations of events we will be attending.

We anticipate a heavy volume of orders before October 1st so please allow 6 weeks for delivery as it is only one person who is able to process, package and fill orders.

Sadly, Growing seed small scale and sustainably does not pay the bills and in addition to running Seed Freaks, Florian has been teaching Agriculture full time at Tas Tafe, Kate has undertaken post graduate studies with a view to working within the mental health and social work sectors in addition to returning to the operatic stage.  Added to that is the joy and fulltime job of raising a toddler who needs some extra supports around speech.

The truth is we are running ourselves ragged, burned out, and cannot sustain this pace. Some of you may have noticed that we have fallen behind in our usual prompt turnaround time for orders. We have made the hard but necessary decision to take a break rather than continue to do a job we cannot do to the level we feel proud of.

We are hoping to be back online in 24 months once our son is more independent and we have had some breathing room. In the meantime, we will still be attending the major Tasmanian agricultural events and we will let you know where and when we will be exhibiting via social media and our newsletter.

We cannot thank you enough for your support and understanding. Florian is truly determined to get internet sales up and running again; he feels seed sovereignty and keeping rare varieties in circulation is too important a mission to let go of. I look forward to being able to recommence online sales once we have had some time to decompress and establish systems to aid in ease of production and allow for a work life balance.

With love and Gratitude

Flo & Kate 

Seed Freaks – Heirloom Seeds Grown in Tasmania

At Seed Freaks, we’re enthusiasts for authentic Australian grown heritage seeds, nurturing our passion through over 400 varieties of open-pollinated and heirloom seeds. As seasoned regenerative farmers and market gardeners turned seed cultivators, we’re dedicated to fostering plant seeds that are acclimatised to local conditions, creating robust crops that reflect the rich biodiversity of nature’s bounty.

Driven by our mission for food security and introducing Australians to rare and wonderful varieties you will never see on the very limited Australian supermarket shelf; we produce organic seeds representing varieties from all over the world that are rooted in our soil. We’ve hunted down and grown the best and most exciting open pollinated and heirloom seeds that have aced the Australian seeds survival test.

We don’t just settle for any old garden-variety seed – we’re crazy about rare seeds, in particular heirloom tomato and bean seeds that can trace their family tree back generations. We’ve overcome geographical barriers, selling our seeds online, Australia wide.

Seed Freaks: The home of heirloom horticulture, delivering home grown heritage, one seed at a time.

FAQ

Can I pick my order up directly from your property?

No, we do not have the requisite council permits to run a shop front from the farm. The only exception we are permitted by council to have customers on the farm is for an open day.

Can I visit the farm?

Each year we endeavour to have an open day where we invite the public to take a look behind the scenes. We also sell seeds and seedlings at this event.

Do you sell seedlings?

Only on our annual open day or at specific market events.

How will I know which markets you will attend?

The best way to keep up with what we are up to is to follow us on facebook and Instagram and sign up to the newsletter.

Do you sell to Western Australia

Due to the strictness of WA quarantine, we have an official WA distributor “Down2Earth Gardening”. The inimitable Julie and Gary Richards of Down2Earth Gardening have Seed Freaks seeds in stock and can procure any of our Seeds for WA customers provided they are not on the forbidden species to WA list.
